Correct. You can always upgrade your RAM for relatively cheap if you so wish.

From what I see, neither the 850 nor the 860 are quite future-proof aftwr three years. No mobile graphocs card really is. I personally have a 750m in my laptop, and it plays most gamea just as well as the 7970 in my desktop.

If you really want to be safe, that 860 may be a better option, but if its out of your pricepoint I wouldn't sweat it. The 850 will do just fine.

I wouldnt worry bout the SSD. Just get one later on for cheaper and put it in there if you so wish.

Went WAY overboard in the end:

Standard Metabox Design
15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) LED Matte
Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M with 2GB GDDR5 VRAM
Intel Core i7-4710MQ Processor (6M Cache up to 3.50 GHz)
16GB 1600MHZ Memory
Plextor 256GB M5 PRO XTREME SATA3 SSD
1TB 7200RPM HDD
802.11ABGN / Bluetooth
Blu-ray Reader / DVD +- R/RW DL
Windows 8.1 64BIT
2 Year Platinum Metabox Onsite Pickup

I really wanted to sub out the Blu-Ray player for a 95% Matte Gamut screen but that was a degree of customisation they couldn't do without adding hundreds to the (~1700) price.

The RAM was a free upgrade from 8 to 16 so I was like fine.

Here is hoping its awesome!

That sounds like a beastly laptop! You'll be golden for years to come, congrats!
